    I noticed this morning that the number of available parcels for Log Homes has dropped by 200. Chalets and Fantasy homes have both dropped by about 300. I doubt we suddenly had such a big influx in users taking these homes, so I think the LDPW must've taken some parcels out of the availability pool. If they only did this to lower the visible number of empty homes, this allow should make these themes seem more desirable. Perhaps they're also updating these themes in some way? 🤔

    The Community Exhibits are a Work in Progress. I like that they give sim owners a chance to showcase their regions to new users, but they do require some work to create. It would be harder for LL to showcase communities within SL because communities are not single, consistent entities, but rather conglomerates of many diverse sims, groups and views. One way to show more communities to a new user would be the rather boring but efficient use of teleport boards, with pictures of different sims. I'm not suggesting replacing the showcase diases, just adding teleport boards for those who don't want to create a whole display. Teleport boards are low Land Impact, easy to create, and easy to use. They would also remove the step of taking the user out of SL to the website, just to teleport them back into a region within SL.

    The MacBeth sim was cool, if it's still around. Of course there is Innsmouth, a great recreation of the coastal town in Lovecraft's short story. I'll assume you're not interested in the sims that reference "The Story of O" or Anne Rice's "Sleeping Beauty" series. 😄

    Check out the thread for LaraX updates. There are some free group gifts, sales and updated clothes there that you may already have. Also try your Legacy sizes. Sometimes they fit on LaraX.

    Did you notice that most of us haven't been talking about for most of this thread? 🤔

    There are some topics that should be avoided because they only lead to drama, anger, hurt feelings and bitterness. On the other hand, mentioning sensitive topics usually just results in those posts being removed and a warning from a moderator. It doesn't result in people getting banned from the forums or SL unless the posts are really bad or consistent. I the the environment on the forums is pretty good, though sometimes a bit boring. It's not the toxic dump it was many years ago and we can still have some interesting conversations. ( I wanted to make a better analogy but I couldn't think of a phase that means the kind of restrictive environment found in Communist China, North Korea, modern day Russia or cold war Eastern Germany. )

    We're not supposed to discuss RL news on the forums. Google it.

    One way to tell if a joke is crossing a line or not is whether it punches up or punches down. Making fun of politician is generally considered punching up, unless one is making fun of them having cancer or having a loved one die, for instance.

    A few people have seagulls on their parcels, but I think most of them have gotten wise to the water pistols, so they stay hidden.

    There will always be some houses available, but not always Ranch, Mediterranean, Stilt on Water, or Stlit on Pier. If you're worried that you might end up with no house for 24 hours, then keep your 5th pick until another 24 hours have passed.

    You can pick a Premium Plus 2048m home the same way as getting a 1024m Linden Home. First check the Linden Home page on the SL website (under Land Manager). Right now there are no 2048 m homes available, but I expect there to be more added tomorrow or later this week. Keep checking at least a couple times / day. Second, when you see there are 2048m homes available, you'll have to Abandon your current Linden Home before you can get a new one. If you see a 2048m home that's empty inworld, you can request that specific parcel through the customer support concierge service. You can also pick a new home from the Linden Home page the regular way and see which parcels come up randomly. When you like the location, keep it, rename it, and move in. If you don't like the location, abandon it and try your luck again - up to 5 times / day.

    Yes. Regular Premium is $99/ year. Premium Plus is $250/ year, which gives you twice as much "free" tier for either mainland or a Premium Plus 2048 m parcel. Currently the Ranch and Mediterranean 2048m homes are very popular. Premium Plus also gives you twice as much for your weekly stipend and other perks that regular Premium accounts don't get. You can still only have 1 Linden Home / account, however.

    Try YouTube. Depending on the specific trails you're interested in, you may be able to find more detailed coverage by actual lawyers who break down what's going on in the cases. The regular news frequently just gives a surface explanation. My own interest in certain high-profile cases has been along political lines, but I've enjoyed learning how the New York court system and Supreme Court works in these cases.

    What sound does a noob make in the forest if there are no Lindens or Moles to hear him?

    A Tarn is a mountain lake formed by a glacier. In SL one might also run into the word as referring to a large Gorean riding bird.

    I've attached 2 pets. I'm pretty sure they were animesh, unless they were animated in some other way.

    It's interesting to compare Great Flood myths. The oldest written one is from Sumaria and has been added into modern versions of the Epic of Gilgamesh. In it there are 3 birds that are sent out after the rains stop. In the Bible version there are 2 birds and the dove brings back a twig as evidence that it found land. In the Siberian version, I think there are 2 birds and the raven finds land. In the Native American versions, it's Raven who creates new land. Based on how the later Biblical, Siberian and Native American versions have fewer birds and change which one is the hero, I think it's pretty clear that they derived from the Sumarian version, through oral storytelling traditions.

    The place where all the cool kids 😎 are hanging out lately is the SL Welcome Hub.

    After leaving Panera and heading back to Starbucks for a hopefully more peaceful environment, I saw a man meditating at the corner of a busy intersection. I respect someone who can ignore the noise and commotion enough to meditate there. 🧘‍♂️ My lesson from the universe: Peace comes from within. I'm still gonna start carrying earplugs in my purse though.

    Removed my peeve because I don't want to be so negative. It's good to be able to vent, but my day wasn't actually all that bad.

    I'm confused why you left a laugh emoji in the first place. I also thought your post was commentary on the one above it. I then tried to find a cartoon about a guy wearing gold sneakers not wanting to give money to a homeless person, but then decided not to add to the drama.

    The first picture looks more realistic to me, but this is why we have individual environment settings.

    Peeve: Being an introvert who's sensitive to other people's emotions and moods. https://youtube.com/shorts/zf726QtXywc?feature=shared I was at the Starbucks inside Target one day when this one guy kept going up to people and trying to engage them in conversation (an extrovert with low social skills, aka a "weirdo"). I told him I was here to write in my journal and didn't want to chat. Yay! for me being direct. He thanked me for being direct and went on to bother other people instead.
